Map of thinking

I used to think pen and paper is enough for brain storming and so-called mindmap drawing softwares are less functional than general charting tools. Yet Mind Manager has really changed my mind. The auto-layout/linking function feels natural and isn't disturbing. Creative icons extends the usage senarios of MM to tasks like project management, reference orgnization, and scheduling. It forces you to classify rather than be messed up and also gives you a high level picture. When I was drawing my todo maps, I recalled that one of my professors said, "One day, you will realize your life is a system."
